San Fransisco

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Well, we road some extremely goaty roads yesterday and after 8 hours in the saddle we ended up here in San Fransisco.  We stayed down on the warf and as usual ended up out drinking until the wee hours.  It seems that Gary must be the catalyst because Flanders and I havent been hung over yet.

Today involves finding my replacement radiator and heading for Yosemite.

Off for breaky.

My poor VFR started bleeding today… The left side rad started leaking on the way to the coast. Of course it’s Memorial Day down here so I’m hooped as far as getting it fixed today. So, it looks like I’m going to try to fix it myself. I’m going to pull the rad and bypass it and see how the temp is. It’s frickin cold along the coast so I’m guessing it’ll be ok.

Wish me luck,

The California Trip is ON!

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

This last week has been a very difficult one, especially for Gary.  After a year of planning and looking forward to it, he hasnt been able to come with us.  It seems whenever Paul and I talk about how awesome a road was or how much of a dive a bar is, we end up talking about how much Gary (Gee Gee) would like it.  Our prayer are with your family.

Anyway, enough about Gee Gee.  Paul and I left for Cali at about 10 AM Friday morning and drove straight through.  We arrived at Mark’s place (the guy who is storing our truck and trailer) at around 8:30 AM.  We packed our bikes and were off by about 10 AM.  It was raining like mad for the first 10 miles but as we dropped elevation into the valley, it stopped.  So, we toured out to Clearlake, CA.  I think this place is inhabited by zombies.  Seriously.  It looks like a resort town from the 70’s that hasnt been touched since then.  I’m guessing that was when the zombie infection spread…..

Anyway, I left my USB cable for the camera at home so you’ll have to wait until tonight for some photos and video.  HD video from the ride will be posted tonight!
